Nokia unbranded SIM orange update ok ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] brummiesteven:
Just got the update on Three UK.

Interestingly it's the first time i've got an actual update notification on the phone first instead of me simply plugging the phone into my PC and discovering I have an update.
[Nokia Lumia 800] htc12345:
Nokia unbranded no update yet. sim voda
[Nokia Lumia 800] ParanoidM:
Pardon my ignorance but I'm quite new to WP7...

Will this update come OTA or will I need to install the Zune software on my PC?

Does the update help battery life at all?
[Nokia Lumia 800] ninja.rogue:
My phone is updating now.

Unbranded bought from Italy.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Giac1:
Updating now, unbranded bought in the UK from Carphone Warehouse
[Nokia Lumia 800] jhughesy:
Vodafone Netherlands updating...
[Nokia Lumia 800] William Richardson:
I bought mine sim free from phones4u and I have the following update ready to be installed - 7.10.7740.16

You need to install Zune I'm afraid. It is getting better although itunes still tops it on the functionality front. Microsoft do seem to have started puling their finger out of bottom though, recently.

I am unsure on battery life - give it a week and we can tell.....

Will
[Nokia Lumia 800] Szabster:
Yeah, i was waiting for the update as well and the phone always said there is no update. I finally got myself today to download zune although I hate itunes and all these wantyourmoney programs and voila, there was an update! So far no difference, I dont even know what I should be looking for cause the update log was quite brief...

UK GSM one on giffgaff.
[Nokia Lumia 800] trickyhenry:
Mine was unlocked from p4u and just updated to 7740. First thing I have noticed is the screen sensitivity has been sorted. Previously scrolling through menus or web pages the phone would select links or buttons when wanted to scroll. Since the update I can't replicate it.

Update: I may have spoken too soon as its done it twice since I updated. Still this is far less than usual. Keyboard seems far more responsive not missing a letter. I'm sure I'm not imagining it.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Lumina:
Woke up this morning to my phone telling me theres an update.

Now have 7740 on my Three branded Lumia.

Can't tell any differences yet, but then I wasn't having any problems :)

Having been using 7740 for a few days, I've noticed the speaker is alot louder. I work in a noisey environment and can easilly hear when I get messages and e-mails now.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
Mine is unbranded, so as soon as I got it out if the box yesterday I fired up Zune and installed the update. Took surprisingly long to do it, I thought.
[Nokia Lumia 800] biggzy:
Mines T-mobile branded and i got this update via Zune the day i got the device, a week ago now.

[Nokia Lumia 800] redvil:
hi guys

i unlocked my lumia with chevronwp7 and installed many apps.

Now if i update to 7740 i lose both chevron and apps?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Sonic Steven:
From what I'm aware of - you will not lose the unlock or any apps when you have unlocked it with ChevronWP7.

Even if you do, I believe you can unlock it again anyway by using the same token.

As for the 7740 update - I simply just used this to update it to 7.10.7740.16. - I just cannot post there yet to confirm it works as I do not have enough posts.
[Nokia Lumia 800] redvil:
Thanks a lot.. I will try updating by zune
[Nokia Lumia 800] sonydesouza:
What do you mean ?

Unlock with chevronlabs right ?
[Nokia Lumia 800] lerameur:
You can unlock it if you're a dev or a student.
[Nokia Lumia 800] redvil:
Yes i payed my token to use chevronwp7 et voila
[Nokia Lumia 800] sonydesouza:
Yeah ok, so do i...

Thought you found a way to fully unlock Lumia... ;)

So I just got the fire from the States in Uk I want to download apps from amazon app store but it says not avaliable in your region yet is there any way around this? Sorry if this has alrea.dy been answered
[Kindle Fire General] bkeane69:
You need to set up amazon account with USA address to be able to download apps from amazon
[Kindle Fire General] jutley:
There must be another way around it maybe in time when they launch in UK it will work now I need to get a custom Rom on here.
[Kindle Fire General] Rubarb:
For free apps setup a fake real address - mine is a McDonalds somewhere in Chicago.

Set your one click payment to Mastercard 5555555555554444 Exp 12/12

(It's a test number for system checks)

Buy free apps

No VPN required or custom ROM. I used this for free books when Kindle was US only and have used it for apps since. I found back then that if you gift yourself Amazon Gift Cards in USD you could use them to buy Kindle books (Note: now no geo restrictions on books, just apps) I suspect it will probably work with apps now but haven't had cause to use it.

Or just use the Android Market - rooting is dead easy.
[HTC EVO 3D] pacman0323:
ok i have had my phone since the first week it came out and its completly stock i was wondering why would i root it what do i get besides free tethering? i had a htc evo and when i rooted it nothing changed so i was wondering whats the purpose. just to say its rooted? anyway i was thinking i should go ahead and do it. lol whats the best up to date way to do it?
[HTC EVO 3D] Bradfordv:
which hboot do you get?

[HTC EVO 3D] pacman0323:
idk it was a long time ago. but i think ima go ahead and root it. whats the newest way out right now?
[HTC EVO 3D] jdogg836:
To choose my own prl, to control my roaming, to remove ciq and other logging, overclock and undervolt.
[HTC EVO 3D] flonker:
The best reasons to root haven't happened yet. (CM7, CM9, ICS). However, it is worth rooting just for ad blocking and tethering.
[HTC EVO 3D] mjcole2003:
I like the idea of taking total control of my device. Rooting allows me to utilize everything possible that my phone is capable of. For some reason when these devices are taken out of the box they are limited for one reason or another by htc or sprint. Rooting alleviates that by allowing you to download and flash custom roms and kernels made by incredible developers that do it all for free. Their hard work is appreciated by all in the xda community. They aren't just themeing these phones but they are tweaking them to improve performance, battery life, and overall usability. So I recommend rooting for sure and take advantage of all this xda forum has to offer and flash a custom rom. I recommend trying more than just one. And if you find one that fits your needs, you can always donate to the dev to show your appreciation.
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
So you can become obsessed with flashing ROMs every day & kernel combination left & right. Tweaking & improving & crashing it & bootloops & learning in the process.

+ all the cool kids are doing it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprintuser1977:
Yea there are so many things you can do to personalize your phone. Right now i am overclocked and running a dual core script and the phone blazes. Rooting is a must, it is the joy of android. Unlike the iturd your phone will look different and how you want it instead of looking like everyone elses
[HTC EVO 3D] ramiss:
Rooting doesn't change anything in the device. It just gives you, the user, "root" access, which is what Linux calls administrative access.

Its about the possibilities you have with that access. Personally I root so that I can find a ROM that gives me better battery life than stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] JCory88:
I love being able to customize my phone from the boot image to boot sound I can also play old school snes games on my phone via my sixaxis controller love the battery life and the extra room I have on it now thanks to bloatware removal all in all root whoops stocks ass any day of the week. Lmao@ sketchy all the cool kids do it
[HTC EVO 3D] tokuzumi:
All the devices I have rooted (hero, Evo 4G, Evo Shift 4G, and soon to be 3D, once TeamEvil releases their S-Off solution), I have always overclocked the phone. It just makes the phone run that much smoother.

Also, once stable ICS roms come out, I have a feeling the 3D is going to be a beast, with the OS natively supporting multiple cores. Plus, with a little overclocking....will be the cherry on top
[HTC EVO 3D] maluminse:
I see ICS videos on 3d and threads. I think ICS might be fun. Htc evo4g lost. Replacement from insurance was 3d.

Question for Sprintuser - team note? You have a Note on Sprint or Tmobile?? Hmm tmobile is gsm so you probably have it on tmobile gsm unlocked? So want one.
[HTC EVO 3D] haawa799:
Root != good

I don't know why to root my EVO, maybe I'm wrong but my last Android phone I rooted and haven't noticed any improvement. Accept for some apps become avaliable. I see no reason to root EVO since it doesn't need to be overclocked.

I have CM7 2.3 ROM on my TMOUS HD2.

Every time I start Let's Golf 3 HD, I get the notification "Your Device is not compatible with this game. Please request a refund".

Is there any way to get this game working before I get the refund. I really like Let's Golf series and Let's Golf 2 working flawless. Is it because this game requires 3D display?

Asphault 6 crashes after the demo video and I can't get that to work as well. Any suggestion if you are running this game on your HTC Hd2!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SPEEDHAMMER:
Im not sure abt Lets Golf, but for Asphalt 6, it will definitely work. Did you download the correct version for your phone(for HTC Desire or Evo...etc)?...Ive tried it myself, but uninstalled it because it was slightly laggy.Its bearable lag,so its your choice. One more thing, is yours the android market version or...?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mendiratta_nitin:
I tried both ways (Downloaded from Market and then partial download with Wi-Fi) and .APK download for Desire and copied Asphault6 folder to my SD card from a working handset. If you have already tried it and it was laggy then I'll probably stay around with Asphault6 :(

I really like both these games on my friend's Samsung Galaxy SII so thought I'd also be able to play.

Can you try Let's Golf 3
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mendiratta_nitin:
Please find both .APK files if you want to give it a try :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SPEEDHAMMER:
umm...i dont think you should post the apks here mate. Im not gonna give you any ideas and get into trouble,but the market version wont really work. Mine is not the market version. Hope you understand what im trying to say;)

Hi, Is these working for any please?

Today i bought this for very low price from Good Market promotion, Market rejected first, I changed the device name as HTC Phone, could install then.

While opening it says your device is not compatible ask for refund and closes! :-(

Anyone could make it work and pass me how? lIke device name and DPI
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] celtironium:
i have bought my GN last week, once i have got the phone, i immediately update it to KK1 (2.3.6, Hongkong version) via OTA.

i have read many posts on XDA that you guys with 2.3.6 are happy with the battery life, however, it is not the case on me.

as you can see, i have used for 5 hours after unplugging from full-charge, the battery drains from 100% to 65%, during this 5 hours, i had 10min phone call, took 2-3 pictures using build in camera, about 10 whatsapp messages

do you guys think it is reasonable?

what should i do to fix it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] djowett:
Try flashing SheepRom. Battery life is good for me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
These third party ROMs all seem to have one issue or another based on what I've read in the threads. Better to just root it and remove apps and tweak yourself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] djowett:
I haven't had any trouble with Sheep Rom. I think the problem with some kernels is that the phone is not entering deep sleep. You could try installing setcpu and forcing it to 200Mhz while the screen is off.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carhigh:
Completely agree. Wish I never screwed mine up with Odin. Wish I could get back to my stock ron and just root, but my stock ron can't be found. I'm on the Hong Kong non modified ron now and am as close to being happy as I can get without selling and really buying.

I had problems with the sheep rom not showing apps in the market that worked and showed fine on the stock rom. Yeah yeah yeah, I know there was probably a fix but I'm not willing to spend all my time fixing silly **** that wouldn't be a problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] djowett:
I had the same problem with the market this morning, I uninstalled the market updates and the apps would install again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carhigh:
You should install a official rom and silly **** like that wont happen. BTW my battery sucked on that sheep rom!

Can we be done with the rom battle now?

Haha yeah, I'm just trying to help the OP. I do have a backup of the stock rom, so I might take your advice and install.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] peare:
I would appreciate if you could you give us a list of those junk apps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Suzook1:
bunch to list (which I will do later) but go into running services. there should be a ton of crap (assuming your on stock) you can freeze. These are mostly stuff I would never use
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abirsharda:
Charged to 100% and left overnight...the drain was about 2% per hour...anyone can explain to me why..??...screenshots attached..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
2% with wifi on is normal i think. just you off wifi then it will go < 1% /hr

You can use phone weaver to auto manage wifi. It will switch off at specific time and will switch on autometicaly at predefine time.

I manage to switch off data connection + wifi at 2am to 9am. and by bettery drain just 4% during this 7 hrs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abirsharda:
Hmm...but what about Android OS battery usage..its always high..??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
wat is wrong with this, it showing you how much battery drained by OS. if your phone is workng then smthing shud use it na?

if your use is <1 %/hr, and that use, is with android OS mostly. it means not other than OS draining your battery.

Look to total battery draining/hr, and smthing (like ne service/application) over consuming battery, thn you have to worry for that..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abirsharda:
And while using betterbatterystats...i saw in kernel wakelocks that vbus_present and deleted_wake_locks were on for a considerable amount of time...

Do they cause high android os use and drain battery..??

If you're weren't using your phone, then the percentile of the operating system is going to be highest thing "in percentages" that is, if you look at the time it was on for, it won't be for the entire time your phone was on.

Hi All,

I have an ATT infuse 4G, just arrived last night.

Which modem do I need to get the 3g/4g working on Roger's?

Hopefully something that I can flash with CWM.

I just finished rooting, unlocking and installing CWM recovery.

I now have a "I997RUXKG3" for a baseband, but it is still not getting any data.

Need also a good rom that will work with this setup.

Thanks for that explanation, Entropy

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
h+ is the 4g in infuse 4g but its more like fauxG, really its just marketing, the infuse and many other 4g phones work on the 3g network, lte is the true 4th Gen network and the infuse doesn't support it.

the att kernel seems to get faster data because of tcp buffer changes ( if I got that mixed up with something else someone correct me) but the recent custom kernels have the changes and are all built on Rogers sources. the rom shouldn't matter but you need to use the Rogers apn settings. the modems should all work including modems from the sgs4g

weather you see h+ or 4g depends on the rom. it can be changed in the theme. they indicate exactly the same thing.

maybe you must use titanium backup or romtoolbox,before you switch rom,backup all of your data,and after switch to new rom you can restore all of them.

easy method you can backup all app with rootexplorer,just copy from data/app to sdcard, and after switch rom,reinstall what you need from there.
